II seems there has been trouble
about the permission granted the l. S

order was issued from the post yester.
day peremptorily forbidding the herds
to drive In the leisurely manner they
had been doing across the reserve,
feeding as they went and it Is stated
they were ordered to leave the reser.
walton within half an hour. This be.

herd took the law into mis- own hands
and proceeded about the crossing OF
the cattle and within three hours had
succeeded In crossing them all. The
drag herd, in charge Of Carlis, was un-
able to follow suit and at last reports
was being held Oh the reserve. They
will be crossed to-day II something
does not turn up during the night.

"The pace was forced by me from the start

United States Marshal Hopkins went to So
noma three days ago, commissioned to serve
a subpoena in the case entitled chemical
National Bank of New York against William
Kissane, ahas William K. Rogers" The &C
ton was brought to recover on certain al
legged forged notes in the possession of the
bank. Hopkins states that on his arrival in
town he began an inquiry among the citi-
zens of the place as to where Kissane could
be found. The nswer invariably was that
he had gone to British Columbia, coupled
with denunciation of his supposed persecu-
tors. The deputy says, however, he found
him at bis ranch, and served the papers on
him. Hopkins says old suits of similar
character will be started. The deputy says
that in Sonoma county the feeling against
kissane's prosecutors is extremely bitter.

The Amount of Wages Lost to Chicago
Strikers Estimated ut 100000.

The Amount of Wages Lost to Chicago
Strikers Estimated ut 100000.
CHICAGO, May 30.-The next six days arel1-
able to witness critical period IN the great
strike in the building trades. For four
weeks strike has followed strike, terminal
ing in q lock out, affecting to a greater OF
less extent almost every trade in Chicago.
Fully II 900 men are idle, and it is stated
upon good authority that over LOCO frst-class
mechanics have left the city. A careful es-
innate shows that wages to the amount
of $685. have been lost to the strikers.
It is impossible to estimate the amount
of capital which has been diverted from
the building trades. A well known
eastern capitalist has instructed his
Chicago agents TO make no investments
pendiuR the adjustment of the strike. and
in several cases large enterprises will be
dropped until next year and perhaps forever.
The master masons, realizing that 80 long
as the trades unions are governed by their
present laws and system the strike is liable
TO be duplicated at any time, have resolved
to make supreme effort to force an 0boll-
ton of the abuses of which they were con-
spicuous victims. The code of principles
and working rules adopted, would, If
enforced, result In q complete abolition
of the union or new constitution. The
developments of last week have demonstrate
ed that if this is accomplished it must be
done by the master masons. They formulat-
ed plan of campaign, and have asked
kindred trades to endorse their code OF
principles and to follow in their footsteps.
The response to that appeal was not so en-
enthusiastic as was expected. The master
carpenters adopted the platform but multi
fed their action by refusing ty set any date
upon which it was to go into effect. The
conservative element in both the master
masons and the carpenters is composed of
those contractors almost entirely dependent
upon union labor. In many cases another
protracted strike means bankruptcy to the
smaller contracting carpenters.

man named Fitzpatrick, residing in Cata-

wife. On the morning of the murder the
couple had quarrel. and his wife threat
ened to kill fitzpatrick. He was sitting at a
table eating his dinner when she stepped up
behind him and drew a razor across his
throat, and then picked up club and beat
him numerically, death following in a few
moments. She first claimed that it was a
case of suicide, but upon being arrested
Rosetta made confession, duplicating her
brother, Bill Lee. She says Bill approached
Fitzpatrick while seated at the dinner table
and dealt him a powerful blow upon the
head with heavy club, while she used a
razor and cut his throat.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
Burles Two Hundred Men In . Coal Pit
in Scotland

Buries Two Hundred Men In . Coal Pit
in Scotland.
GLASGOW, May 28.-A terrible explosion
occurred in the Udeston coal pit at Blem-
tyre Village, in Lanarkshire, eight miles
from this city. Two hundred and twenty
miners are entombed in the pit, and it is
feared that all have persisted. The shaft is
blocked with debris, caused by the explos-
ion.
Further particulars Of the explosion in
the Udeston pit show that the number OF
men entombed was less than at first re-
ported.
Forty-fve miners who were imprisoned in
the upper seam pit we're rescued but one OF
them died after being broughtto the surface
Others are suffering, however, from the ef-
fects of the shock and fire damp.
Access to the lowest seam, where seventy
men are confined, is found to be blocked BY
debris, tumbled down by the explosion. II
was in this seam that the explosion occurred
and it is not believed that any of the seventy
men down there can be rescued i've. IL IL
even thou ght that they are all dead now.
There are seventy other men still lmprls-
oned in the middle seam. Hopes are enter
tanned of saving most of these, and volun-
~~---
hear them calling for help. Cries OF
"Come," "help," "come quickly" have
been heard frequently, and they have i'm
PEELED the rescuers to the most frantic exer-
tons to save them.
Udeston pit is tuated in the most fiery
coal district of Scotland. As soon as tn;
fact of the explosion became known, min
ers from all the neighboring golfers hur
ried to the scene to help in the work of res
cue. The pithead has been surrounded ever
since the disaster by large crowd of weep
ing women and children. Five dead bodies
have already been taken out of the mine.
Communication was opened this after
noon with the middle seam, and numbers Of
miners entombed there, all of WHOM,
were supposed to be killed, have been res
cued alive, although much Frustrated from
FIRE damp. Five of the men found in the
thalowest seam were dead when the rescuer
opened it.
The lowest seam has been reached, bu
too late to rescue any miners who were a
work there. Not one Of the unfortunate
men was found alive. The total number Of
lives lost by the explosion is believed to b.
seventy-fve.

MEETING OF MANAGERS.

The threatened Railroad Rate War Be
+waar tho Northwestern Roads has Been
Postponed.
CE1oAeo, May 31.-A most important
meeting of the managers Of the northwest
efn railroads was held to-day, and on its re-
suits hung the question as to whether there
was q bitter war to be waged among the
lines in the west and northwest, or whether
the pipe of peace was to be smoked and har-
mony prevail. The Chicago, Burlington &
Northern has been threatening for
the past two months that
on June it would withdraw
from the association and on that dats cut
through rates between Chicago, Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul one-half. The Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul announced that It the
threat was carried out it would IN turn ont
rates to Omaha in the same proportion. II
the two lines had carried out their
proposed programme it meant 9
complete Generalization of both
through and local rates throughout the west.
and loss to the interested roads In earn
ings of $4,000 day. The Burlington &
Northern would undoubtedly have carried
out it's threat had not the Burlington, which
controls it, forced it to back from its posi-
ton, which it did at to-day's meeting,
the Burlington & Northern with other
lines agreeing to keep the present
rates in force from and after June /, sub
iect to fifteen days notice of the desire on
the part of any line to change. A reso-
luton was proposed to suspend any further
issue of milling in transit, and to make the
through grain rate from st. Paul and Min
neapolis to Chicago 10c per 100 pounds.
The managers discussed this until late in
the evening, and then adjourned until to-
morrow. The general opinion is that the
resolution Will prevail.

CARBoNDALE, KAN, May EX-SENATOR In
gals and wife are here, the guests OF Hon.
E. M. Hewin. The senator was rendered an
enthusiastic reception this evening by citi-
zens of this place, irrespective of party. In
the course of his remarks he alluded to his
action in the senate upon the proposed
sixteenth amendment and said
that in the present condition
of suffrage in the south and in
our great cities he was unalterably opposed
to any enlargement of the voting GLASS;. He
said that states had now full power to en-
franchise women without the Intervention
of congress and without any amendment to
the constitution, and the subject was one
which should bA decided by every state for
itself upon the American theory of "home
rule" and local self government.
